Push endoscopic gastrostomy in high-risk patients – is it really safe?
Authors: M. Sarmento Costa, A. Silva, M. J. Temido, A. Trigo, A. M. Ferreira, N. Almeida, P. Figueiredo
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) enables artificial enteral feeding in patients with head and neck cancers (HNC). In some circumstances, due to anatomical constraints, the pull technique is not feasible. Furthermore, push PEG tubes in HNC are considered a better option to reduce the risk of metastasis at the PEG site, although rare. We aim to report the outcomes in a retrospective cohort of high-risk patients undergoing PEG placement with the push technique comparing it with patients in whom the pull method was feasible.

Transgastric gallbladder stone clearance
Authors: K. Basiliya, A. Papaefthymiou, M. Chapman
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 78-year-old male presented with recurrent right upper abdominal pain. He recalled undergoing biliary surgery as a neonate in 1945, but the nature of the procedure was unknown. MRCP suggested possible choledochoduodenostomy for presumed biliary artresia. At ERCP there was a normal ampulla but no connection between the lower common bile duct and the intrahepatic ducts. Instead, the bile drained through the cystic duct and gallbladder into the stomach via a fistula. A cholecystogram revealed multiple stones in the gallbladder. The fistula opening was dilated and cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy performed. Complete stone extraction was achieved after intubation of the gallbladder with a gastroscope.
Laparoscopy assisted recanalization for complete resection of the common bile duct
Authors: S. Tokmak, M. F. Cetin, S. Torun
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 68-year-old female with no known history of chronic disease was referred to our clinic due to elevated bilirubin and transaminase levels after cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. On physical examination, she had a surgically placed abdominal drain but no incoming fluid. MRCP showed a complete resection of the common bile duct with four clips each on proximal and distal parts. Due to the clips, laparoscopy-assisted combined ERCP was performed and a 10F 10cm plastic stent was placed in the anterior branch of the right intrahepatic duct. Bile started to flow to the drain but stopped one month after the procedure. Three months later the plastic stent was replaced with an 8cm FC-SEMS and the drain was removed [1] [2] [3].

Retrieving large colonic endoscopic submucosal dissection specimens: the advantage of a protector hood
Authors: S. Archer, A. Rei, M. Garrido, A. Sadio, R. Marcos Pinto, P. Isabel, R. Küttner-Magalhães
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 83-year-old male was referred for endoscopic resection of a 60 mm granular nodular-mixed type laterally spreading tumour, Paris 0-Is, JNET 2B, in the cecum. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was initiated distally followed by the creation of a pocket, with stepwise proximal progression until complete en bloc resection. The lesion was removed per rectum without fragmentation with the aid of a protector hood assembled at the tip of the endoscope. Retrieval of large colorectal lesions can be cumbersome with risk of fragmentation and incomplete recovery. The use of protector hood allows its complete en bloc recovery, while passing through the anal sphincter.

Curative ESD of a large rectal tubulovillous adenoma with high grade dysplasia
Authors: M. Lajin, N. Khan
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text A 42-year-old female presented with rectal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a large rectal polyp measuring 6cm located 2cm above the anal verge. After marking the borders, submucosal injection was followed by a circumferential mucosal incision. Due to extensive fibrosis, traction was applied at multiple points using the clip/string technique to facilitate submucosal dissection. Final pathology showed a tubulovillous adenoma with focal high-grade dysplasia. Follow-up 9 months later showed a clean scar without residual adenoma.

Authors: K. Mönkemüller, K. M. Pawlak, T. Kröner, L. Fry, A. Martinez-Alcalá
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Precut biliary sphincterotomy may be needed after failed cannulation, impacted stone, presence of bulgy of hanging papilla, choledocal cyst type III, among other indications. The Huibregtse needle knife is one of the most widely used precut instruments. However, often a hidden secret is forgotten: this instrument is also a practical, pre-curved biliary cannula. This video demonstrates this combination needle-knife catheter in a patient with large, bulgy papilla. The technical aspects of the needle knife are shown, including how to remove the wire and needle, how to conduct a needle
Choledochoduodenostomy mediated rendezvous as a third line approach to achieve ERCP in benign diseases: a video case
Authors: A. Papaefthymiou, G. Johnson
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Common bile duct (CBD) cannulation cannot be achieved in all patients. In such cases endoscopic ultrasound rendezvous (EUS-Rv) is recommended, though it is not always to pass the guidewire across the papilla. We present a 61-years old female with large CBD stones, who was referred after failed attempts to ERCP and EUS-Rv. Following this, we placed a lumen apposing metal stent (LAMS) to create a CDS. Six weeks later, another ERCP via the CDS was scheduled to facilitate guidewire passage into the duodenum, to be picked up with a snare and proceed with an ERCP, and the duct was cleared. ERCP Rv via a LAMS CDS is a feasible technique as a salvage measure in cases of unsuccessful cannulation in ERCP for benign disease.

Authors: B.Tormo Lanseros, J.Santiago Garcia, D. De Frutos Rosa, F.Valentin Gomez, A.Herreros De Tejada Echanojauregui
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Male of 68 years who received adjuvant radiotherapy after a non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection for a pT1b esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A follow-up endoscopy showed a 3cm circumferential segment of multiple telangiectasias immediately distal to the gastroesophageal junction that was consistent with an uncommon presentation of radiation-associated vascular ectasias (RAVE). Months later, he presented with severe anemia and melena. An urgent endoscopy revealed a moderate and diffuse bleeding secondary to the RAVE. A single-session radiofrequency ablation therapy was performed to control the bleeding, eradicate the RAVE and successfully recover the hemoglobin levels [1] [2].
Interdisciplinary management of a complex colovesical fistula
Authors: M. Moutzoukis, A. Skamnelos, V. Theopistos, G. Gklantzounis, D. Christodoulou
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text In 2021 a 73 male patient underwent a sigmoid cancer operation and he had an early relapse. CT cystography and lower digestive endoscopy verified a colovesical fistula. Second Hartmann's colectomy and left vesicoureteral anastomosis with enterocystic communication closure were performed. The patient, however, had a relapse of the fistula. A 15mm fistulous lesion between the rectum and urinary bladder was identified. First, the fistula was sutured, followed by the placement of a Gore-Tex mesh reinforced with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). These measures led to reduction of the diameter of the fistula to 8 mm so a mesh was put after re-endoscopy and rejuvenation of the fistula lips and the fistula was sutured again.

Authors: L. Archibugi, R. Ponz de Leon Pisani, P. Zaccari, A. Mariani, P. G. Arcidiacono
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text Neuroendocrine neoplasms of Vater ampulla (ampullary NEN) are extremely rare, and there are no guidelines on their treatment. We report a case of an ampullary NEN treated with en-bloc hot snare endoscopic papillectomy, resulting in a pT2, G2 NEN. A post-procedural bleeding occurred, treated with endoscopic clipping after insertion of a protective biliary plastic stent. After two months the patient developed jaundice, the stents were not in place anymore and a fibrotic retraction of the papillectomy site was found, causing closure of both bile duct and Wirsung with upstream dilation. A precut fistulotomy on the bile duct bulging was performed resolving the jaundice.
